Craig was born April 23, 1943 in Rome, NY, a son of the late Roy H. Keese and Esther Carrier Keese. In addition to his time working in the HVAC industry, Mr. Keese served our country through his service to the United States Army. He spent his free time enjoying fishing, hunting and tinkering with mechanics to troubleshoot problems.

Mr. Keese is survived by his five children; Craig Keese Jr., Karen Keese, Kim Keese, Christopher Keese, and Lisa Keese Hathaway and husband Derrell Hathaway. Survivors also include his sister, Carol Sessions, as well as numerous grandchildren.

In addition to his parents, Craig was preceded in death and has been joyfully reunited with his loving wife, Claire Keese. A picture of the love they shared on this earth is only the beginning of the love they now share eternally.

The family of Mr. Keese would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Hospice of Union County. Without their compassionate care, this peaceful transition wouldn't have been possible. In lieu of flowers, donations in Craig's honor can be made to McWhorter Hospice of Union County, 700 W. Roosevelt Blvd, Monroe, NC 28110

Davis Funeral Service of Monroe is honored to be serving the family of Mr. Keese. An online guest register book is available to view and sign at www.davisfuneralservice.com
